Romney is one pathetic 'front-runner'

Romney being the front runner has always been a media invention. Oh, he has always had the cash and will have even more cash and will now be spending freely because his handlers know that he isn't going to win with his personality or policies.

Just look at last night. The 'front runner' came in third in Minnesota with 18% of the vote. He got absolutely CREAMED by Santorum (sorry about that) losing Missouri 55-25. Isn't Jesus supposed to make his triumphant return to earth someplace in Missouri, according to Morman teachings? Then Colorado. The state Mittens thought he was going to win ends up going to Ricky by about five points.

So now Ricky has won four states, Mittens three states and Newt one state. So the 'front-runner' has been defeated 5 times and won 3 times (including one of his many home states).

Pathetic!

For the Obama Campaign. The most difficult challenger Obama will face is Contestant Obama from 2008. The rest of it he can phone in and still win in a landslide.

...the Ed Muskie or Hillary clinton of this year in that the media had declared them to be toe inevitable nominees before any votes were cast.

The big difference is that he isn't even fractionally the person that either of the other 2 are or ar. They would, at least, made very good presidents. bain romney? UGH!

PEACE!
